Apply tags to resources in Managed Kubernetes Engine

The Tagging feature allows you to label Kubernetes clusters and worker groups with custom tags for classification, search, and more effective resource management.

  • Smart classification: Easily organize clusters, virtual machines by environment (Production, Staging, Development), project, department, or any criteria that fits your management process.
  • Quick search: Filter and find clusters, VMs easily based on their tags without having to remember complex names.
  • Efficient management: Track costs, resource usage, and generate reports based on tagged VM groups.
  • Flexible customization: Tags can be customized and applied for various purposes to meet specific business needs.

With the Tagging feature, managing virtual infrastructure becomes more organized, saves time, and improves operational efficiency.
